With some disappointing turnouts at Allen Park for training camp, I was pleasantly surprised by a decent turnout for the Ford Field Lions scrimmage game. The sections over the 50-yard line were nearly full with fans and their family. The scrimmage was set to start at 6 p.m. ET, but before getting the actual game started, the Lions ran some individual drills for about 20-30 minutes, much like what you’ll see at the start of a normal practice.
Once the scrimmage was under way, we were notified of how the scoring works. The scoring system for the offense was self-explanatory and how you’d expect, while the defense was given points for third-down stops, red zone stops and for creating turnovers.
